FCBAI holds biggest Bakery Fair

-

The biggest baking trade show in the country was recently held at the World Trade Center in Pasay, bringing together thousands of baking enthusiast­s, students, café operators and other entreprene­urs to network with local and foreign exhibitors and learn from the seminars and demonstrat­ions by Filipinos and internatio­nal pastry experts.

A unique civic project of the Filipino-Chinese Bakery Associatio­n Inc. (FCBAI) led by its president Peter Fung and EVP William Ong, Bakery Fair 2019 has been establishe­d to uplift the standards and nationwide popularity of the baking industry while doing its share in sustaining the fast-growing Philippine economy.

“Started in 2001, the bakery fair is a biennial event, which aims to foster awareness on the importance of updating our industry on the latest trends in baking technology and ideas, new equipment and ingredient­s, latest packaging concepts and materials,” Fung said.

“We at FCBAI hope that the Bakery Fair can promote, strengthen and elevate the standards of the Philippine bakery industry not only as part of the country’s dietary, lifestyle and culinary culture but also to help boost economic developmen­t through the expansion of small mediumscal­e enterprise or SMEs,” he added.

FCBAI is among the business groups under the umbrella organizati­on of the Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. (FCCCII).
